Together Itsumo

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own any characters in this story.

Pairings: Kyo/Tohru, Yuki/Hana, Kagura/OC

Feedback: I would love to hear what you think.

Natsumi: Well everyone, we are now coming to the last chapter of this story.

Yuki: What? It has to end so soon?

Natsumi: I'm afraid so. As much as I have loved writing this lovely story, it must come to an end.

Shigure: Well, why waste all the time we have talking? We must find out what happens on Yuki and Hana's date!

It was Friday night and Yuki was on his way to pick Hana up for their date. All week he had been tormented bby Ayame about having a girlfriend.

"Mon frére! How are you today?" Ayame asked.

"Go away Aaya!" Yuki replied.

"Where is your wonderful lady?" Ayame followed Yuki into the kitchen.

"I won't see her until school this morning. Now go away."

"You should bring that lovely girl to my shop. It would be fun!"

"For you it would be fun. For us it would be sheer torture! I will not put Saki through that."

Yuki shuddered at the memory. He was taking Hana to a nice restaurant on the other side of town. Yuki though she would enjoy it. He'd gone there plenty of times and it was a nice place. As he came to her front door, he ran a hand through his hair, and knocked. He heard a young voice inside call,

"I'll get it Saki!"

The door opened to reveal a young boy, in all black.

"Oh, you must be Saki's boyfriend. Come in. She'll be out in a moment." the boy said. Yuki took a seat and about five minutes later, it seemed more like ten, Saki stepped into the living room. Yuki was awe struck. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She was wearing a dark purple, knee length cocktail dress, she had let her hair down to fall around her shoulders in long, romantic curls, and she had pale lipgloss on.

"You look beautiful." Yuki finally managed to say. Hana blushed and quietly said,

"Thank you."

Hana too Yuki's hand and as they headed toward the door, Hana told Megumi to keep all the doors locked and to stay in the house. Megumi murmured an okay and closed the door behind the two teens. He had plans tonight. Tonight, he would follow Hana and Yuki and find out all the detail, then, tomorrow, he would tell Momiji everything.

Kyou walked into the living room and put in the horror movie he planned on watching. As the previews played, he went into the kitchen to make a few rice balls and something to drink. As he walked in, he saw Tohru putting the carton of juice back in the fridge.

"Hey Tohru. I thought you were working tonight." Kyou said as he began making the rice balls.

"Oh no! I have the evening off." Tohru replied.

"Well uh, do you..." Kyou paused. He knew how Tohru hated horror movies, but he wanted to spend time with her. And if she did get scarred, it gave him a reason to hold her.

"Do I what, Kyou?"

"Um...do you wanna watch the movie with me?"

"Sure Kyou. Here, I'll help with the rice balls." Tohru helped Kyou finish making the rice balls and their drink and they took their snacks and sat on the couch. As the movie began, Tohru asked,

"What movie is it?"

"The Grudge." (Hey, it is originally a Japanese movie!)

"Oh, okay." Tohru smiled and Kyou motioned for her to lay her head on his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around her and she put her head on his chest.

Throughout the entire movie, the only thing that scared her was when the boy would meow or that woman would come out making that weird sound. And every time one of those things would happen she shut her eyes tightly and buried her head in Kyou's shoulder. Each time Kyou would hold her tighter and whisper in her ear,

"It's alright. Don't worry."

As the credits rolled by, Kyou looked at Tohru, and smiled. She had fallen asleep. Kyou turned off the video and the television and picked up Tohru. As he began to walk, Tohru wrapped her arms around Kyou's neck and nestled her head on his shoulder. He went up the stairs and into her room. He drew the covers back on her bed, laid her down, and pulled the blankets over her. He turned out the light by her bed and began walking away.

"Kyou?" Tohru said softly, half-asleep.

"Yeah Tohru?" Kyou answered.

"Will...will you stay with me tonight?" Kyou hesitated. He hadn't expected her to ask him to sleep in her room.

"Yeah Tohru. I'll stay in here tonight." Kyou slipped his shirt off and climbed in the bed next to Tohru. He wrapped an arm possessively around her waist and pulled her close to him.

"I love you Tohru." Kyou whispered as he began to drift off to sleep.

"I love you too, Kyou." Tohru murmured as she slipped into a dream.

Kyou walked up the drive to Shigure's with Tohru and walked into the house. The two pulled out their homework. Every so often they'd look up at each other and smile. Kyou reached over to Tohru and took her hand in his, kissing it.

"I love you Tohru." Kyou said.

"I love you too, Kyou." Tohru replied.

"Well, isn't that cute?" a voice said. Kyou looked up to see Akito standing in the doorway.

"What do you want?!" Kyou snapped.

"It's time for you to go monster." Akito said.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I mean, cat!"

"You can't force me to give into that damn box!"

"Can and I will!" Akito struck Kyou. "Now, you can come willingly, or I can force you. Which will it be?"

"Fine. But...let me say goodbye." Kyou lowered his head in defeat. He would have fought, but he didn't want Tohru to have to see it.

"You have to minutes."

"Tohru?" Kyou turned to her and pulled her into his strong embrace. "I love you Tohru. No matter what happens after this, always remember this. I love you Tohru, and I always will." Kyou pulled a small box out of his bag. He handed it to Tohru who opened it to reveal a necklace with a gem the colour of Kyou;s eyes. Kyou took the box from her and took out the necklace, unclasping it. He put the necklace around her neck and pulled her into another embrace. He placed one last passionate kiss on her lips and pulled away. He turned and walked away with Akito following him. A tear fell from Tohru's eye and she called to Kyou,


"Aishiteru Kyou, itsumo!"

Tohru woke with a start, tears running down her face. Kyou sat up and looked at her.

"Tohru? Are you alright?" Kyou asked.

"Oh Kyou, it was awful!" Tohru exclaimed, hugging him tightly. "Akito came and took you to put you in that awful box!"

"Shh...I'm here Tohru. Calm down." Kyou held her tight in his arms and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I won't be locked away, I promise that. I love you."

"I love you too, Kyou. Don't leave me, ever."

"I won't. We'll be together, itsumo."

Natsumi: Well, this was the final chapter my friends.

Kyou: What, no details on Yuki's date?

Natsumi: I thought you'd like the fact that the end chapter was centered on you and Tohru.

Kyou: I do like that.

Author's Note:

Well everyone, as many of you may know, this is my first anime/manga fanfiction. And It has obviously done extremely well. But needless to say, it will be my last fanfiction for awhile. I am currently working on an original story so I can pursue a professional writing career. And in order to do this, I must take more time on the original story therefore I will not write as much on fanfiction. I'm not going to completely leave FFN but I will not be posting as often. Thanks for reading my fanfiction. All of those that have reviewed really made my days brighter.
